Is that what you were getting at with the VIN part or am I still missing it?

There's a common misconception that the Fox body cars didn't have VINs stamped into the blocks. I think that's what they were getting at.

You can't tell an SSP car by VIN alone, and you can tell an original engine by partial VIN.
